Oh, someone brought up a “good” apologist and I was attempting to list a few others who have, y’know, a moral compass.
Thanks!

Does everything shock you?

It is easy to set up a quick and dirty straw man when you only quote part of what I said. Try reading the whole thing next time.

Your lack of intellectual rigor is showing. :roll:

But yes, you’re getting boring so… moving on.

My thanks also to the good Doctor!!! The read was a treat, as usual.

This one was really something to review:

4.Louis Midgley Urges Additional Abuse of Gina Colvin

One of the most noteworthy instances of terrible Mopologist behavior during the past few years has been Louis Midgley's disquieting obsession with the blogger Gina Colvin. Midgley was accused of "stalking" her, a charge that, frankly, seems more than merited given what he did: i.e., talking a trip clear across the world to New Zealand, where he then accosted Colvin's husband. While his account of what happened on the trip has been disputed, the fact remains: Midgley's fixation on Colvin seems unhealthy. And this year was no different. In a June 27 "SeN" comment, Midgley once again unleashed his rage on Colvin, asking fellow commenter Philip Leaning to share "dirt" on her:
Louis Midgley wrote:
Please send me this rubbish. And especially anything by Gina Colvin.I am writing an essay in which I may, for very good reasons, trash her. She deserves a good trashing.

Dr. Peterson has described Midgley as having "a very vivid personality." I suppose that's one way of putting it. Meanwhile, the upshot here seems to be that we can perhaps expect an Interpreter smear-piece some time in 2023?
To me, nothing admitted more clearly than his “trashing” comment that Midgley doesn’t review people’s writings, he writes to hurt people. It’s a horrible approach.

I don't think I'd call Don an apologist. And I'm not sure about Dan either. Am I wrong?

You are a true legend, Shulem. If the stars were somehow to align so that you could debate Gee head-to-head, it would be epic.
It would be great to see Shulem debate Dr. Gee. Gee could even bring along Drs. Muhlestein and Peterson for moral support and brain power. Even equip the pro-Book of Abraham team with bulletproof vests provided BYU seamstresses could let them out a little in the waist.

Perhaps Shirts and Kishkumen could referee this event.

Not in the derogatory way the term is used here, I suppose not.
